At a summit in Belgium on Wednesday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised the importance of NATO’s support to Afghanistan’s security force after its troops withdraws in 2014. Foreign partners will provide 4, 1 billion USD to the police and armed forces of Afghanistan after 2014. However, current austerity programs in Europe raise doubts that the promised funding will be available. Afghanistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Janan Mosazai said the government is aware of the financial pressures on its allies.
